On the Christmas day, I had to prepare two sets of wedding cupcakes for two different wedding dinners on the next day, 26 December, it was my special day, a very special day.......-:)

I was blessed to be given the task of decorating cakes for the lovely couples. It was the best Christmas gift to me. Before that, I shall show you the special gift that I promised to give away for Mom & Daughter Cakes Facebook fan.

Deng deng deng......here it is~

They're pink penguins! I dreamt of them and I told myself I gonna make them. Haha...my dream had come true!

Aren't they cute? I can't stand to snap their pictures from different angles, hehe......

Pink Penguins in a box with ribbon. They look precious. I will make more penguins on smaller cups in smaller boxes as wedding door gifts, hopefully.

Lovey bear is getting more popular. Not only they sit on little cuppies but now heart shaped mini cake, yay!

The cake is chocolate flavoured and covered with rolled fondant. The client asked for a pair of Loveys as cake topper and I added pink blossoms in front of the bears, indicating their love is blooming all the way......

So glad that my first heart shaped cake came out well, not out of shape, hehe...and covered up smoothly with fondant. Hopefully this love themed mini cake manages to deliver its message of love to the recipient.

So sorry about the picture quality as it was taken with phone camera. My brother's camera battery was flat and my digital camera had spoilt......*sob*

Don't worry, I will get a DSLR in January, please bear with me at the moment...thanks...

When I first started Mom And Daughter Cakes, I was quite hesitate if I should provide delivery service as I had a day job and cake decorating was just my part time business.

But to date, I'm 100% certain that I should do it.

The reasons are it's a way to fulfill the need of our clients and it's also a mean of appreciation to those who love our cakes. I am very much inspired by the clients, one of them is Azlinda, my very first client from down South.

Last Sunday, I was commissioned a set of cupcakes by Azlinda from Johor. This lovely lady wanted me to send the cakes to her loved one, Fazlin at Butterworth. I checked my schedule, oh well, it's Sunday, I could do it though I had another set of cupcakes to be delivered to Sunway Carnival, Seberang Jaya.

I said 'yes' to her and I thought she must be very eager to see the response of her special one when he received the cakes. It would be a surprised birthday gift! I thought I should take the picture of Fazlin with the cakes and sent her right after.

When I told her about it, she was so happy!

I kept my promise and managed to capture that special moment at Fazlin's home. He was really nice and posed naturally in front of the camera, look at the pictures, how happy and funny he is, haha!

When my dad was driving me home, I sms Azlinda that the mission was accomplished, she immediately sent me the followings:

"Tq so much Amy.. Im so touched! That won't happen without u."

Hmm....Azlinda, me too...It's my pleasure to be the love messenger between you and your loved one, I'm deeply touched too to have a nice and warm client like you.

Azlinda expressed her thank again via Facebook and email. When I finished reading them, I teared......

She had really made my day! I'm more decisive now to venture into the field of decorative cakes fully.

Do you still remember the time you took SPM (Malaysian School National Exam)? I was like most students, burning the midnight oil weeks before SPM, a last minute doer, terrible. However, I enjoyed the time as we got to skip class and stayed at home with a good excuse-:).

It's SPM season again, I was commissioned to make this set of cupcakes for a young man who was going to take his exam. Tom and Jerry is the design theme. How exciting and funny! I enjoyed very much making them. I took 30 minutes to sculpt Tom but more than 1 hour for Jerry! Can you imagine it?

See, how mischievous Jerry is! I've started to love Tom more than Jerry since then, hehe......

With this lovely set of cupcakes, yeah, they're cupcakes, not cake, I shall take this opportunity to wish all SPM candidates: Good Luck!!!

Tip Of The Day:

To eat a fondant cupcake, simply put into your mouth! If you don't have a sweet tooth, remove the topper and just eat the cake. You may keep the topper at cool, dry place (preferably air-conditioned) for a long time.

I knew about Mashimaro only after Mc D offered the soft toy gift a few years ago. The fat rabbit (in Korean it means weird rabbit) is so adorable that it has won many youngsters hearts, including myself... (I'm always young, at heart mah...).

Personally I'm a Mashimaro fan, -:) though it's not my no.1 favourite cartoon character. (No.1 is My Melody, the friend of Hello Kitty, not Hello Kitty herself.....). When I was asked to create a pair of Mashitmaro, I was quite excited and more than happy to cheer up the lovely young couple with my cake arts.

When I saw her smile as the cupcakes were presented to her, I was so...happy. She quickly snapped pictures of the cupcakes when I got into the house to get some candles for them.

One of their ears dropped when I showed them the way to arrange the cupcakes. They're quite 'fragile' as the fondant was rolled out thinly and stuck at its tip to make the ears looked more realistic and lively. It's simple to fix the problem anyway, here it is......

Tip Of The Day:

Use water to fix any fall apart part on fondant figurine. Just brush the spot with water and stick it back.

It's been a trend to have wedding tiered cupcakes besides wedding cake during a wedding ceremony. On constraint wedding budget, it's indeed a smart alternative as they could be an elegant presentation with beautiful arrangement.

Recently I've created some wedding cupcakes for window display. People like simple creation nowadays, especially for wedding cake and cupcakes, white and beige are 2 major themed colours.

A small heart, little rose or monogram design is preferred as wedding cupcake topper.

Personally I love four leave clover and calla lily besides pink rose, so I just design something I love to share with you, hopefully you would love them too.

Four leaves clover which is believed to bring good luck to its finder. What about its cake topper eater? Hehehe......
